Maemo, Android & the Nokia N900

This guy has made by far the best and easiest script/tweak for the N900.  Together with power-kernel 47 and Uptimes up to 20 days. My N900 has been extended with some life juice For the whole story check Maemo.org to be sure what you are doing.

For those who can’t wait here let’s begin!  

DOWNLOAD

Part I: Scripts

sudo gainroot
tar xzvf MyDocs/speedpatch.tar.gz
chmod u+x speedpatch.sh
./speedpatch.sh
rm /home/user/.profile_root
mv transitions.ini MyDocs
rm speedpatch.sh

 

Part 2 : TWEAKS

1-) You may also try hardware accelerator wich will make hildon-desktop smoother
BUT it is known to be unstable so if it caused any hildon-dekstop crashs or reboots simply disable it

To enable it :
use any text editor to edit /etc/powervr.d/hildon-desktop.ini and change WSEGL_UseHWSync=0 to WSEGL_UseHWSync=1
so :

sudo gainroot

leafpad /etc/powervr.d/hildon-desktop.ini

and change

WSEGL_UseHWSync=0
To
WSEGL_UseHWSync=1

IMPORTANT: if you was very unlucky with HWsync you may have to reflash Your N900
because it may cause a reboot loop
otherwise it is stable to use on 80% of N900s
——————————————————

2-) And you may also want swappolube and it’s proposed values to install it

apt-get install swappolube

once installed launch it then press on PROPSED button then APPLY then STORE

——————————————————

3-) And you may also want tracker-cfg and lowmemory mode (will make tracker take less resources wich will improve the speed a bit)
install it :

sudo gainroot
apt-get install tracker-cfg

once installed launch it and choose lowmemorymode
Then scroll down a bit you should see throttle change it to 10
Then save and exit

——————————————————

4-) And ApMeFo app wich organizes folders your menu(try to reduce the shortcuts by putting them in folders) this will improve transitions

to install:

sudo gainroot
apt-get install apmefo

——————————————————

5-) And installing CSSU with it’s nice modified hildon-*
for installing it

——————————————————

5-)Also kernel-power 47 is recommended

to install it :

sudo gainroot
apt-get install kernel-power-flasher

once installed enter as root: (if you want to have a correct battery value of usage left)

echo “blacklist bq27x00_battery” >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

To disable the bq27x00_battery module wich is depreciated
Then reboot

otherwise to reenable it :

echo “#blacklist bq27x00_battery” >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
